Forum is starting to die given the amount of eliminations, but hapless accidental contenders like me need all the help we can get.

1) Don't Sit Your Studs. You drafted them high for a reason. Let the player's ADP be your guide for the first 4 weeks or so. Are they putting up a lot of points? Yes? They're studs.
2) Note your scoring settings. Is it PPR? Non-PPR? How many teams? Are there any wacky settings like counting return yards? Be brief but just specific enough for us to get the gist. PLEASE DO THIS!!!!!!
3) Present the options as simply and succinctly as possible. Don't write a novella about how you are on the fence about so-and-so because the weather conditions are yappity-yap and the guy defending him has a fungal infection. Get to the loving point so we can give our thoughts and move on.


I've currently got Eli Manning@PHI as my starter. I've also got Colin Kaepernick@LA, Matt Barley vs WAS, and Tyrod Taylor vs. MIA as options. Should I pick one of them up?

I would go with Barkley vs WAS. Washington have been giving up at least 300 yards 5 out of 6 games. I am having trouble choosing between Barkley and Winston. Jameis has been projected top 12 for the past 3 weeks but hasn't lived up to those projections.

Also in standard league choose one flex:

Dion Lewis vs NYJ
J. Crowder @Chi
T. Gabriel @Car
Moncrief @Oak

Unsure what to do with my two remaining teams. Both are standard scoring 0ppr

Championship game:



My RBs are basically set, not sure what to do at QB or WR. Dak and Russell Wilson are also both somehow available as Free agents. Thinking about doing Montgomery and Cooper (who is supposedly getting more involved this week according to coach speak).

For 3rd place because I loving sat Montgomery last week:



Going Rivers for sure and Gordon if he plays because Cleveland, but other than that things are pretty up in the air.

Gabriel and the Falcons as a whole have been pretty hot, I think I'd go with him again. Lewis is a nice option against the really really bad Jets, but this could be a Blount game.

Do you need a home run or do you need 10-15 points from your flex? Gore is gonna be there for you, but Montgomery has been on point for the last two weeks. As for the QBs, I'd say Carr. Over under on that game is 52.5. Gotta like that.

Pretty much my thought too.

My other WR is Cooks. I'm leaning towards Inman at WR and Roethlisberger at QB. Green feels like a huge risk given the injury, matchup, and the fact that the bengals season is over. Not really sure about QB at all.

1 PPR
1RB, 2 WR, 2 Flex

Powell @ NE
Gurley v SF
Blount v NYJ

Jordy v Min
TY @ Oak
Cooks v TB
DeSean @ Chi

Forte is Doubtful which seems to always mean no way in hell, so even though NE isn't a great matchup I don't see how I could sit Powell. 27 points last week in a 13-34 loss where he didn't sniff the endzone.

I don't like Blount. Way too many points going to Lewis/White and he never catches any passes. Two out of the last 4 weeks he's put up sub 10 points and if it wasn't for the TD against Denver he would have put up only 3 points.

I know Gurley has been a massive bust for a first round pick but he's had decent games despite that (21vTB, 17vBuf&Atl) so even though it could be a trap I think it's hard to sit him vs SF.

DeSean has been on my bench the entire year except for the last two games. Normally I'd have no problem benching him but 3 out of his last 4 games have been 20+ points, including a 30 point game, and Chicago is a good matchup.

TY has a good matchup. Cooks has an average matchup.

Diggs has been poo poo for the last five weeks (and on my bench the entire time) and may have lingering hip issues but he's playing GB who he hung 35 points on in week 2.

I think Powell/Jordy/TY/Cooks are all locks and it's basically that second Flex position that is in question, at the moment I'm leaning Gurley. Any one of the three (DeSean/Diggs/Gurley) could have a huge game or a pretty poo poo game though.

I must beat this guy today. Must. We have week 17 championship and this semi is against my arch nemesis.

RB

J Stew or Hyde? I'm rolling J Stew.

WR

Michael Thomas
Ty Montgomery

Tyrell Williams ( I love him but his shoulder injury plus near concussion last week make me really nervous)
Rishard Matthews
DJax
Crowder

I need a boom from Brees so I'm handcuffing Thomas to him (bad idea?)
DJax and Crowder seem to risky of a coin flip - but I'd probably play DJax if I had to pick from the two.
Matthews - well Mariota isn't instilling the biggest of confidences in me right now.
Is it stupid to play Ty against Minnesota?

I'd probably play Hyde but agree on your WR.

How high Does Farrow rise in a standard league? Right now he's the odd man out among Rob Kelley, Doug Martin, and Ingram, but I think they are mostly clustered together.

Championship game in our 1 PPR league. Projected to lose, but not by much. Injuries and end of season shenanigans are giving me headaches, making what would be an obvious choice much more difficult. Who do I start in my flex:

Lamar Miller vs Cin
AJ Green @ Hou
Mike Wallace @ Pit

I was leaning Miller till this morning, now they might not play him if the Titans lose and Houston clinches the spot. Green should be playing, but the Bengals' season is over and they might not risk over-extending him after his injury. That just leaves me with Mike Wallace, who isn't a great WR or anything, but has been pretty good and did very well against Pit earlier this season.
